Why Siiould I Invest in Seattle Real Estate? 

John L,. Stoddard: “In my opinion there will be three great cities 
in America—New York, Chicago and Seattle.” 

Henry Watterson: “I am delighted. Seattle is fully equal to my 
expectations, and as I had read a great deal about the city, my expecta¬ 
tions were naturally pitched high.” 

Jay Cooke: “Having been an interested spectator in the growth of 
cities, I can assure you that Seattle is to be one of the largest in the 
United States.” 

Major General Schofield: “Puget Sound is the most beautiful 
body of water it has ever been my good fortune to see. Seattle is mar¬ 
velous, and the people are deserving of much praise for their energy 
and enterprise.” 

Julian Ralph: “Seattle is metropolitan. It has the indefinable 
tone that marks the city from the town, and that when emplified belongs 
only to the chief city in a state or industrial district.” 

Andrew Carnegie: “I was very much taken with Seattle. 'That 
city is destined to be one of the greatest commercial centers in the 
country. If I were to go West I would go straight to Seattle.” 

Senator Hawley: “Seattle is a notable example of what can be ac¬ 
complished by American push, pluck and enterprise. It is a metropoli¬ 
tan city, with palatial hotels, magnificent churches, handsome mercantile 
establishments, immense and well equipped manufactories, fine public 
and private schools and beautiful private residences.” 

New York Mail and Express: “Seattle has survived railroad 
oppression, prospered under a conflagration that destroyed the entire 
business quarter of the city, and now is one of the finest cities in the 
land. Such are the fruits of unity, self reliance, enterprise and civic 
pride. 


The commerce of the World combined with nature’s great store¬ 
houses of wealth in the northwest portion of the United States has 
decreed that at some point in that vast territory, a great city will be 
built that in a few years will compare favorably with the great Trade 
Emporiums of the Maritime World. That Seattle will be that city no 
sane man dare deny. With the development of the resources adjacent 
and tributary to Seattle, and the great expansion of commerce which 
has annually been increasing at a rapid rate with the Orient, Hawaiian 
Islands, Australia, South America and Alaska, the population of Seattle 
under such favorable conditions, has grown verv rapidly, but those who 
have studied the growth of cities, state emphatically that Seattle vithin 
the next decade will have from 200,000 to 300,000 inhabitants. This 
means that fortunes will be made by those who take “time by the fore¬ 
lock” and “plant” a few dollars in Seattle. It will bring you greater 
profits than invested in any other section of the world. Real estate is 
yet very low and now is the time to buy. A few hundred dollars in¬ 
vested at this time will bring you as many thousands in a few years.

A COMPREHENSIVE PAMPHLET 


(From Seattle Daily Times, Sept. 27 , ' 98 I) 

“A Few Facts About Seattle.” This is the title of a new pamphlet 
that has been issued by authority of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. 
The author is Mr. Arthur C. Jackson, and it contains excellent articles 
by such well known men as Mr. Thomas W. Prosch, Mr. J. A. Moore, 
Mr. Erastus Brainerd, Prof. Edward S. Meany, Prof. Frank J. Barnard, 
Capt. Harry Taylor, Mr. J. W. Clise, the vice president of the Chamber 
of Commerce and Mr. Arthur C. Jackson, all of them prominent and 
leading citizens of the City of Seattle. The new book is full of reviews 
of Seattle and her advantages as the gateway to the Hawaiian Islands 
and the Orient, the commercial center of the Pacific Northwest and 
the metropolis of that section, the chief outfitting and staging point 
for the gold fields of Alaska, the Yukon River and its tributaries. On 
the first page is a short history of Seattle by Thos. W. Prosch. It is an 
able article, by a representative man. One of the many noteworthy 
features of the book is the frontispiece, which is a fine view of First 
Avenue. 

Another able article, and one that will put the facts before the 
outside world in a manner that will undoubtedly be convincing, is 
by Mr. J A. Moore. It gives in detail the reasons why Seattle is to be 
the metropolis of the Pacific Coast and why it is becoming one of the 
great cities of the American Union. It gives in short paragraphs 
twenty-three reasons why Seattle is the natural shipping point of the 
Pacific Coast and the'most favored spot for all industries, from grow¬ 
ing potatoes to building war vessels. 

The pamphlet should, and undoubtedly will, repay the expenses of 
publication a thousand fold, besides being an exceedingly fine adver¬ 
tisement. It is a noteworthy publication in itself, and should be 
scattered broadcast.

FIRST AVENUE, SEATTLE 




































SHORT HISTORY OF SEATTLE. 

By Thos. W. Proscili. 

The first white men known to have placed foot upon the town- 
site of Seattle did so in 1850. The place was then the habitation 
of several hundred Indians, to w'hom it was known in one part as 
Mukmukum and in another part as Zekhalalitch, the water fronting 
it being also known to them as Whulge. In the fall of 1851 Luther 
M. Collins, Henry Van Asselt, Jacob Maple and Samuel Maple settled 
m Duwamish Valley, a few miles south of the present city, and they 
were quickly followed by Lea Terry, Charles C. Terry, C. D. Boren, 
J. N. Low, Wm. N. Bell, David T. Denny and Arthur A. Denny, some 
of them with wives and children, who settled for the winter on Alki 
Point, the southern headland of the Harbor of Seattle. These were 
the pioneers of King County. All are now gone to their last home 
except Van Asselt, Boren and the two Dennys. In April, 1852, the 
two Dennys, Boren, Bell and Dr. D. S. Maynard settled on their 
donation claims, now within the limits of the present city, and 
later in the year were joined by Henry L. Yesler and others. May 
23rd, 1853, Arthur A. Denny, C. D. Boren and D. S. Maynard offici¬ 
ally platted the town of Seattle, naming it after an Indian chief of 
the vicinity, who was noted for his dignity, strength, influence and 
friendliness to the whites. The little town grew from the start. 
Within a year it was a county seat, and it contained a sawmill, two 
stores, a church, a schoool, a hotel, fishery, lawyer, doctor, a half 
dozen families and a total population of about seventy-five persons 
It continued to grow until the fall of 1855, when the Indians and 
whites made war upon each other. All the country settlements were 
destroyed and a considerable number of people killed. On the 26th 
of January, 1856, the Indians attacked the town, but, owing to its 
defenses and the assistance of a Government vessel with two hundred 
men, they were repulsed. It took the town and country a long time 
to recover from the effects of this war. In 1861 the Territorial Uni¬ 
versity was located and built in Seattle, and here it has since re¬ 
mained, the fortunes of the two being closely linked, and they grow¬ 
ing and thriving together as naturally as could be. In 1863 came 
the first newspaper; in 1864 the Territorial Court, and in 1869 town 
government. By 1870 the inhabitants of Seattle numbered eleven 
hundred and by 1880 thirty-six hundred. Between these two dates 
much had come to the now ambitious little city. Steamships were 
frequent visitors to its wharves; the coal mines back of town were 
reached by a line of railroad; wholesale stores were doing profitable 
business; streets were graded; schools, churches and hospitals were 
erected; the weekly newspaper was succeeded by the daily; lines of 
telegraph ran to-the north, south and west, and Seattle had become 
with a single exception the largest town in the commonwealth. 
Soon after 1880 that exception ceased, and by 1885 Seattle with ten 
thousand people contained as many inhabitants as the two next 
largest towns combined. In 1889, on the sixth of June, it sustained a 
tremendous calamity in the way of a conflagration, which burned 
over a hundred acres, destroyed the main business quarter, and 
caused losses aggregating ten or twelve million dollars. So far from 
quenching the spirit of the people this misfortune seemed only to 
spur them on to greater and nobler exertions. Within a year* the 
burned district was rebuilt .on a larger and finer scale than before, 
with better grades, wider streets, grander buildings, and all the 
attributes and parts of a modern city. Its population in 1890 was 
forty-three thousand; in 1894, fifty-seven thousand; in 1898 it is not 
less than eighty thousand. Ten years hence it will be two hundred 
thousand. With all this increase of people have come more rail¬ 
roads, more ships, more manufactures, more commerce, more Gov¬ 
ernment institutions, more of everything that go to make a great 
city, statement of which in detail would lengthen this article beyond 
the purposes of the pamphlet containing it. It is enough to say 
in conclusion that Seattle historically is an interesting point, as it 
also is naturally, and as it further is from the standpoint of business 
prospectively. 


REASONS WHY. 

By J. A. Moore 


Reasons why Seattle will become the metropolis of the Pacific 
Coast and why it is becoming one of the great cities of the American 
Union: 

1. The vast timber region of the Cascade and Olympic ranges, 
tributary and bordering on Puget Sound, estimated in round numbers 
to contain 150,000,000,000 feet of merchantable lumber, worth on 
board ship or car, at the present prices, nearly two billion dollars. 

This is the finest available body of timber in the world to-day, and 
as the forests of Wisconsin and Michigan are rapidly disappearing the 
wise men of those sections are turning their attention to our forests, 
and many thousand acres of our finest timber land have recently been 
purchased by them. The value of the timber cut alone for 1897 was 
fifteen millions of dollars. 

Our timber finds its way into the markets of the world, many 
large ships leaving continually for China and Japan, Australia, Hawaiian 
Islands, South America, South Africa and for Europe, besides on an 
average of thirty cars per day being shipped to the Middle and Eastern 
states by the different transcontinental railroads having their terminals 
at Seattle. 

The great lumber industry employs a vast army of men, estimated 
to be not less than 30,000. 

2. The next greatest industry is farming. The farmers of the 
state in 1897 received over $20,000,000 for their wheat crop alone. This 
year, the acreage being much greater, and the crop an enormous one, 
while the price of wheat is somewhat lower, it is expected that the 
amount of money received will not be less than in 1897. 

The farmers of the state w T ere practically out of debt last year, and 
with the magnificent crops of wdieat, oats, barley and hay of 1898, they 
wfill be in a more prosperous condition than those of any other section 
of the United States or in fact of the World. 

3. The mineral deposits of the state are interesting the world in 
their richness and extent. In addition to gold, silver and copper mines 
we have thousands of acres of coal lands, and man) 7 mines are being 
worked on a profitable scale. The carrying of this coal to San Francisco 
and other points 011 the Coast gives employment to a numerous fleet 
ef colliers. The coal mines of the State yielded 1,400,000 tons in 1897. 

4. Following in value the great industries of lumbering, farming and 
mining we have the fisheries. Although comparatively in their Fhfancy 
yet, in 1897 the product of the fisheries of Puget Sound amounted to 
two millions of dollars. They include seal, cod, halibut, salmon, 
herring, clams, crabs, smelt, shrimp and others, not to mention trout, 
with which the mountain streams are richly stocked. 

5. Fruit growing is another great industry, and the following 
fruits are raised very successfully: prunes, plums, cherries, pears, 
melons, grapes, quinces, peaches and apples, while berries grow 
abundantly of the largest size and finest quality. 

6. The dairying industry is also a great one,_the prices of butter 
and cheese usually being about 25 per cent, higher than in the Eastern 
States. 

7. Hops from the State of Washington are acknowledged to be 
among the best in the world. 

8. In addition to all these great sources of wealth, any one of 
which would sustain a large population, has co ni the opening up of the 
vast store houses of wealth in Alaska. Cities are being built in that 
vast country, railroads are already under construction, and the great 
bulk of supplies in the past has been and in the future will be taken 


fi oni Seattle, owing to her proximity and the ability of her merchants 
to supply wants more quickly and economically than any other city 
on the coast. This has already been demonstrated by the big steam¬ 
ship companies making their headquarters at Seattle. This Alaska 
commerce has developed into a tremendous volume of business. 

The failure of the much talked of “All-Canadian Routes” has given 
a fresh impetus to the business done from the American side, and an 
American railroad is already being constructed from Skagway over the 
passes down to the Lakes beyond. 

, The American flag was raised at Honolulu August 12th. Before 
the 12th of September five steam and sail vessels had sailed from Seattle 
for Hawaii loaded with lumber, lime, hay, vegetables, beer, manufac¬ 
tured goods, etc. 

9. The commerce with the Orient is assuming greater proportions 
than was thought possible a few years ago. 

One of the largest steamship companies in the world, the “Nippon 
Yusen Kaisha,” owning a fleet of eighty ships, has traffic arrangements 
with the Great Northern Railroad, and brings to the wharf at Seattle 
immense cargoes of teas, curios, silks, spices, etc., and returns laden 
with our manufactures and farm products. 

With these marvelous sources of wealth, it is safe to predict a tre¬ 
mendous growth for Seattle during the next decade. Arising from the 
lethargy and depression of the past few years, which spread itself 
over the entire country, Seattle has gone to the front place with a 
bound, and promises easily to maintain that position. The bank 
clearances of 1897 exceeded those of 1896 by fifty per cent; the 
clearances of the first eight months of 1898 exceed those of the first 
eight months of 1897 by more than one hundred per cent. This enor¬ 
mous increase was a result of the extraordinary growth of trade during 
the past two years. 


Population of Seattle in i8Sr.. 4,000 

“ “ 1888.14,000 

“ “ “ 1891.43,000 

“ “ “ 1898..80,000 


Thus it is plainly seen that Seattle is gaining rapidly in population 
and with the return of prosperity, which has started at the Pacific 
Coast, and with the present rates of increase, Seattle will have at least 
100,000 inhabitants in 1900, and 150,000 inside of five years. 

SeatPe has nine National and State Banks, with a capital of over 
two million dollars and deposits of six millions, being four millions 
more than in July, 1897. 

Seattle boasts of as fine and complete a system of schools as any 
city of its size in America. 

With her graded schools, high school, University of the State of 
Washington, commercial and denominational schools, she holds out 
the assurance to all seeking a home within her borders of educational 
advantages second to those of no other American city. 

ir. Manufactories of all kinds find ready market for all of their 
products. 

12. Flouring mills have recently been built with a capacity of 
1000 barrels per day, and a*ready orders have been placed with Fastern 
companies for machinery necessary to double this output. 

Many public and private improvements are underway in Seattle, 
among which may be mentioned the following: The establishment of 
the Government Army Post at Seattle and the erection of many build¬ 
ings for the regiment of soldiers to be stationed here. This will call 
for the expenditure of many hundred thousand dollars. Fortifications 
are also to be erected at the harbor entrance. 







The construction of the Government Navy Yard near Seattle, in 
which over $i,000,000 has already been spent, and Congress recently 
appropriated $ 160,000 for further improvements during 1898. The 
dock here is the largest in the United States, and there are only two 
others of equal capacity in the world. 

12. The construction of a canal connecting the Sound with Lake 
Washington by the Government, for which $ 1 70,000 is available for use 
this year. In securing the right of w’ay for this canal, the people have 
expended one hundred thousand dollars of local money. 

13. The Government Assay Office at Seattle has attracted many 
millions of dollars of gold dust to the city since its opening in July, 
1898. The first month’s work of the new office exceeded the entire 
year’s work of a majority of the U. S. Assay Offices elsewhere. 

14. The City of Seattle is now constructing a mammoth water 
system, intending to draw the supply from a mountain stream 28 miles 
away. The city plant has already cost a million’and a half dollars, and 
nearly as much will be required to complete the works now in hand. 

15. Another great enterprise recently undertaken by Chicago and 
Seattle capitalists is the harnessing of the Snoqualmie Falls and bring¬ 
ing to Seattle cheap power and light. Hundreds of thousands of dollars 
will be expended in the construction and equipment of this plant. 

Many business blocks and residences are under construction and 
many more will have to be built to accomodate the great influx of people 
headed for our state. 

Seattle has better railroad facilities than any other city on the coast, 
which has enabled her at all times to handle her enormous commerce 
with the greatest ease and at lowest cost. 

With the Great Northern, Canadian Pacific, and Northern Pacific 
centering at Seattle a competition is created which gives the merchants 
great advantages over other cities. Especially is this true of San Fran¬ 
cisco, which has always been at the mercy of one great corporation, viz., 
the Southern Pacific Railroad. Seattle has ninety miles of electric and 
cable railway, and has the honor of being the first city west of the 
Mississippi river where the trolley was successfully used. 

The climate of Seattle is very equable, as will be seen by the follow¬ 
ing niean temperatures : During the summer the average temperature is 
65 degrees, and during the winter 45 degrees. From this it will be seen 
that the temperature is delightful in summer and hardly less so in win¬ 
ter. The anuual fall of snow and rain averages 39 inches. Cyclones 
•and great storms of any kind are unknown. 

In this small publication it is difficult to set forth all the good things 
that might be said of the State of Washington and Seattle its principal 
city, but so great has become the inquiry of late, by those seeking infor¬ 
mation concerning our state, and by those seeking opportunities for the 
profitable investment of capital, that the information in this pamphlet 
will at least pave the way for further investigation. 

Suffice to say, no district in the known world holds out to the home 
seeker or investor such attractions as are found in the city of Seattle and 
surrounding country.

THE SEATTLE SCHOOLS 

By Prof. Frank J. Barnard 


Although for beauty of situation Seattle is matchless and the 
products of our forests, mountains, plains and fresh and salt waters 
offer tempting financial inducements to home-seekers, still all such 
advantages amount to nothing in the opinion of thinking parents 
unless the public schools also offer special advantages for the edu¬ 
cation of their children. That the Seattle schools rank among the 
very best in this country is emphasized by one of the greatest edu¬ 
cational authorities in this country—Dr. A. E. Winship, editor of 
The Journal of Education—New England and National—who, after 
visiting our schools, gave his opinion in an editorial, of which the 
following is an extract: 

“Judging by the supervisory and teaching force, by the course of 
study, classification and promotion, methods and spirit, or school¬ 
room adornment, there are few cities between the seas to compare 
with Seattle. It will seem very strange to many of the readers of 
The Journal to see such a sentence. I know the good things East 
and West, I know the spirit and power of many cities that come 
to my mind as I write, and yet I do not care to qualify thei state¬ 
ment. What is known as the Shearer plan of promotion, of which 
the Atlantic made so much a few months ago, has been in full work¬ 
ing order in Seattle for seven years, and promotions take place in 
some schools almost literally every day in the year, and this occurs 
so naturally and advantageously to the children and the school that 
they never think it strange that a child is slipped forward without 
note or comment. (This plan of promotion originated in Seattle, 
having been devised and introduced in the schools in 1891 by Super¬ 
intendent Barnard. The plan was adopted and described by Shearer 
in The Atlantic in 1897 .) The schoolrooms, many of them, are so 
beautiful that when one of the teachers visited schools from the 
Missouri to the Atlantic last year she was homesick for “Seattle 
style” in the schoolrooms. Of course many places can be named 
that, in most respects, match Seattle, but there are infinitely more 
that do not, and scarcely one that excels in any of the leading 
features. The financial prosperity of the city will enable her to 
maintain her educational leadership, which was threatened a year 
ago. 

The pupils of Seattle, when a special classification was made of 
their nativity, afforded an interesting study. There were 4870 chil¬ 
dren in the schools studied; of these less than one-sixth were born 
in the state, nearly one-half as many were born in California as in 
Washington, and almost as many in Minnesota as in California. 
Kansas, Iowa, Illinois and Michigan furnish about one-twentieth 
each. Even from Massachusetts and Maine there are a comfortable 
percentage. Every state in the Union is represented, and thirty-five 
foreign countries. 

*The teachers, also, are well educated and trained. About one- 
fourth have had college or university training, and nearly one-half 
have had normal school training, many of them in the East. Physical 
exercises play a prominent part in the schools. It would be difficult 
to find another city in which 500 boys and girls would file into the 
yard, and, with wands, dumbbells and free gymnastics, do as much as 
one of these schools did when twelve classes, by the same music, 
did twelve different exercises, and all in perfect time. Arbor Day 
has been utilized by one school, at least, in adorning the grounds 
with more than 2000 varieties of shrubs, trees and flowering plants.” 

During the year just closed 8655 pupils were enrolled, 188 teachers 
employed and 24 buildings occupied.

Main Building University of Washington 























THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON 

By Prof. Edmond S. Mfany 


The State of Washington being one of the youngest commonwealth* 
in the Union has behind it all the experiences of the nation’s founders 
and builders. In no one thing has the state profited by those exper¬ 
iences as in the case of free public education. Washington’s system of 
education is certainly a model of completeness. The state takes the 
little tots of four and five and gently leads them into the free kinder¬ 
gartens. From these baby schools the children emerge into the 
common or graded schools from the eighth grade of which they step 
into the high school. Many would think that up'm graduation from 
these grades ami from the four years of training in the high schools 
that the duty of the State to the youth had been generously fulfilled. 
Not so, the state of Washington believes that her sons and daughters 
are entitled to the best possible educational advantages, so she invites' 
them to enter the normal school, the agricultural college or the 
university, all of which are perfectly free to all residents of the com¬ 
monwealth. It would seem that no state could do more for the youth. 
The enthusiasm, energy and success of our “citizens of to morrow’* 
will justify the state’s wisdom in rearing this magnificent stiucture. 
This pub ication is being issued by Seattle men and because the 
University of Washington, capstone in the state’s educational edifice, 
is located in Seattle this article will be devoted to that institution. 

The University is not unlike many other such institutions in its 
early history. It struggled for years with no support but the hands 
and hearts of its few 7 friends. 

Upon the Territory merging into a state better times daw ned. A 
new site of 355 acres within the city limits was obtained. This wilt 
become a magnificent campus and scientific arboretum or botanical 
park. 

New buildings were erected of stone and brick. The main building 
is a model structure thoroughly equipped with lecture halls, laborator¬ 
ies, library, museum and offices. 

The laboratories (chemical, physical, biological and mineralogical) 
are all well equipped with the very latest apparatus, enabling the 
students to pursue their studies wfith the greatest possible facility. 

The library has recently been enriched with hundreds of the 
choicest volumes, an esseutial second only to the student’s thirst for 
knowledge. 

The museum is being rapidly filled with specimens of natural 
history and it is well known that the Pacific Northwest affords one 
of the finest fields in the world for profitable study of the natural 
sciences. 

The gymnasium building is fitted for a healthful exercise and 
training for young men and women. 

The grounds, having a frontage on Lake Union and Lake Wash¬ 
ington give ample opportunities for aquatic sports, pleasures and 
exercise. 

The Board of Regents has recently added materially to the teach¬ 
ing force and the faculty is now a body of men and women well skilled 
in their own branches of work and fully capable of pushing the Univer¬ 
sity upward and onward in its progress. 

The new president of the University, Frank P. Graves, Ph. D., is 
voung, energetic, enthusiastic and has had a remarkably good training. 
There is no doubt but he will prove an inspiration to liis fellow workers 
in the faculty as well as to the individual students. 

In short the University of Washington has a fine opportunity for 
good work in this far Northwest to which it will respond with a grandeur 
that will meet with the approval of every citizen of the state.

THE CITY FINANCES 

By Hon. T. J. Humes, Mayor 

I he financial condition ot the City of Seattle is a most enviable one. 
With a larger cash balance to its credit than it lias had for several years, the 
interest on its bonded debt full}' paid up, every dollar of floating warrants 
handed down from a previous administration paid, the City is practically upon 
a cash basis. 

Not only have the current expenses and fixed charges of the City been 
promptly met, but the interest-bearing debt has been appreciably reduced. 

The following is an official statement of the bonded debt of the city, 
September 30, 1898, with the annual interest thereon and also the assessed 
valuation and tax rate.

LAKE WASHINGTON SHIP CANAL. 

By Captain Harry Taylor 


The general plan of this improvement is to construct a canal 
from Puget Sound through Salmon Bay and Lake Union into Lake 
Washington. 

Lake Washington lies on the east side of the city of Seattle, and 
at the nearest point is within less than two miles of the waters of 
Puget Sound. The lake is 19 miles long, averages about two miles 
in width, and has an area of 38.9 square miles, or 24,896 acres, of 
which 22,000 acres cover a depth of 25 feet or more. The greatest 
depth which has been found in this lake is 200 feet. The mean level 
of the lake is nearly nine feet above Lake Union. 

Lake Union, which lies between Lake Washington and Puget 
Sound in the line of the canal, has an area of 905 acres, of which 
499 acres cover a depth of 25 feet or more. Of this 499 acres the 
greater part covers an almost uniform depth of between 40 and 50 
feet, a depth admirably adapted for anchorage of all classes of ship¬ 
ping. The mean level of this lake is eight feet above extreme high 
tide in Puget Sound. 

The total length of the canal from deep water in Puget Sound 
to deep water in Lake Washington is very nearly eight miles. The 
original project provided for a canal 26 feet in depth, having a bot¬ 
tom width of 80 feet and a width at the water surface of 158 feet. 
The original project provided for two locks, one of which should 
be near the outer end of Salmon Bay, and the other which should 
be between Lake Union and Lake Washington. Outside of the outer 
lock a channel was to be dredged 300 feet wide and 26 feet deep at 
the lowest high tide. Since the original project was submitted, which 
was in 1891, the advantage of enlarging the canal sufficiently to take 
in the largest war vessels has been taken up by the Seattle Chamber 
of Commerce, and the advantages of Lake Union as a storage basin 
for naval vessels during time of peace have been shown. 

It is now certain that when detailed plans are prepared for this 
improvement that this change in the canal will be considered, and 
it is probable that the locks will be not less than 100 feet wide and 
600 feet long, and that there will be a depth of at least 31 feet pro¬ 
vided for throughout the entire length of the canal. This would 
enable the canal to be used by any ships that float. 

The outer lock at the outlet of the canal has also been moved 
back into the narrows of Salmon Bay, so that the distance from 
this lock to deep water in Puget Sound is now very nearly one mile. 
Outside of this lock a channel not less than 300 feet in width and 
31 feet in depth at lowest high water will be dredged. 

Two appropriations have been made for this improvement. The 
first in 1894, of $25,000, and the second in 1896, of $150,000. Both of 
these appropriations were made with the proviso “that no part of the 
money appropriated by them should be expended on this improvement 
until the entire right of way and releases from all liability to adja¬ 
cent property owners have been secured to the United States free of 
cost and to the satisfaction of the Secretary of War.” 

This proviso has delayed actual work on this improvement, but 
as soon as the necessary data could be obtained, condemnation pro¬ 
ceedings for obtaining the right of way and turning it over to the 
United States in accordance with the terms of the provisos were in¬ 
stituted by King County, and these proceedings have now reached a 
stage where it is reasonably certain that they will be completed 
within a very short time and work on the improvement will be begup 
within the next few months.

SEATTLE’S UNITED STATES ARMY POST. 

Byt J. W. Clise, Vice-President Chamber of Commerce. 

The United States is the owner of 989.51 acres of land located 
within the city limits of Seattle, and on which buildings are now 
in process of construction, to be occupied as an artillery post. 

The site, which consists of 641 acres of upland, the remainder 
being tide land, roadways, etc., includes about one and seven-eighths 
miles of deep water frontage on Puget Sound, where all shipments 
of ocean freight and heavy guns for the fortifications will be made 
to and from the post. 

The necessary area for wharf facilities on Salmon Bay, a pro¬ 
tected harbor, has also been furnished and a dock constructed, which 
Will be used for the smaller freight vessels and pleasure craft. 

The people of Seattle obtained this site free of cost to the Gov¬ 
ernment and donated it to be used as a regimental army post, and 
the Government is now performing its part of the obligation by con¬ 
tracting for work approximating $100,000, which is expected 
to be followed by continuous work until the post is completed. 

When it is considered that the support of a regimental post'm- 
volves an annual expenditure of $434,000 for salaries, pay and the 
necessary expenditures of a Quartermaster’s Department, its import¬ 
ant bearing upon trade conditions in Seattle, where practically the 
entire amount is expended, can be appreciated. It was not, however, 
this fact, so much as the necessity for protection to the growing com¬ 
merce of this part of the world, that induced the people of Seattle 
to furnish the Government a site estimated to be worth $200,000. The 
result, however, is that Seattle has become the military and naval 
headquarters of this part of the country, and its importance, due to 
our trade with the North and the Islands in the Pacific, recently 
acquired, must steadily increase. 

The area acquired by the Government has exceptional natural 
advantages for park purposes, which will undoubtedly be made the 
most of by the Government. 

Estimated cost of the buildings required at the new military post 
to be constructed on Magnolia Bluff near Seattle, Washington: 

7 sets of Field and Staff Officers’ quarters..$ 70,000 


20 double sets Company Officers’ quarters... 300,000 

1 set Bachelor Officers’ quarters . 20,000 

4 double sets N. C. O. quarters (staff.). 20,000 

6 double barrack buildings . 210,000

SEATTLE, THE OUTFITTING CENTER 

By Erastus Brainkrd 


Seattle is a City of 80,000 population, on Elliott Bay, a branch of 
Puget Sound, which connects with the Pacific Ocean by the Strait of Juan 
de Fuca. Its harbor is perfect and safe. It is the center of a district 
which produces or manufactures nearly everything that enters into a 
miner’s outfit. It manufactures flour, woolens, pork products, canned 
goods, evaporated vegetables, hardware and other articles which make 
the greater part of a miner’s outfit, thereby saving freights on manufac¬ 
tured articles from other points. 

Seattle is the commercial capital of the State of Washington, which 
produces vast quantities of wool, fruit, vegetables, wheat, grains of 
all kinds, butter and dairy products, live stock and all products of a 
great agricultural state. 

Seattle is the live competitive point having three transcontinental 
railroads. Competition in freight rates exists by which Seattle mer¬ 
chants benefit as those of no other city do. 

Seattle is the most northern point in the United States whence 
vessels sail to Alaska. 

The route from Seattle is an “inside route,” avoiding the storms 
and fogs of the Pacific Ocean, and the journey from Seattle to Eynn 
Canal is protected on either side. There are no bars to cross, as at 
other places. The journey is as comfortable as on a Hudson River 
Steamer. 

Seattle is a wholesale supply point for the Pacific Northwest. The 
“Yukon stove,” especially adapted for the Arctic climate, was first made 
in Seattle, and is now made here by nearly a dozen hardware firms. 
Seattle has two flouring mills with a capacity of 1500 barrels of flour 
a day. Seattle has a packing house, with a capacity of 700 hogs, 300 
sheep and 200 cattle pet a day. Seattle has a woolen mill, with a 
capacity of 200 blankets. 

Seattle makes the Yukon sled. One firm alone sold over 2,000 
last season. Seattle makes condensed milk. One concern turns out 250 
cases a day, forty-eight cans to the case. Seattle makes evaporated and 
dried fruits and vegetables in unlimited quantities. It is the center of 
a great fruit, vegetable and hop growing district. Many of the ranches 
have complete hop drying plants and these are used for drying fruits 
and vegetables, in addition to many evaporating plants. Seattle makes 
a special miner’s shoe. One firm turns out from twenty-five dozen a 
day upward, and carries a heavy stock. Seattle also makes tents, 
pack saddles, and nearly everything that enters the miner’s outfit. 
Everything that can be bought in New York or Chicago can be bought 
here, and as cheap as at those places, saving the miner his local 
freight. 

Seattle is the center of the greatest lumber interest in the World. 
Ship building is an important interest in and around Seattle. The 
only complete steel ship building plant in the Pacific Northwest is in 
Seattle, it has already had two United States contracts for Federal 
vessels. 

In comparison with Seattle, other points which undertake to outfit 
miners are at a disadvantage on one vital point—experience. 

The disadvantages of the other American outfitting points, as com¬ 
pared with Seattle, in addition to lack of experience and their lack of 
railroad facilities, are, for the Alaska trade, insufficient stock of the 
peculiar merchandise desired, greater distance and want of communica¬ 
tion by ship. During the twelve months ending with August, 1898, three 
hundred vessels sailed from Seattle for Alaskan ports. During the same 
year sixty vessels, mostly steamers, were built in Seattle yards for 
employment in Alaska waters. These statements tell the story in forcible 
language. 



SNOQUAIMIE POWER COMPANY. 

By Arthur C. Jackson 


In an air line, twenty-two miles east of Seattle, the Snoqualmie 
River plunges over a precipice two hundred and seventy feet high, 
and the cataract thus formed affords one of the best water powers 
in the United States. The development of this power and its trans¬ 
mission by wire to Seattle and Tacoma, where it will be made 
useful, has been talked of for years, and several times a project has 
been almost successful in its promotion. During the present year 
Mr. Charles H. Baker of Seattle has undertaken the project success¬ 
fully, securing the necessary amount of capital, and the plant is 
nearly completed. 

The hydraulic power of the river at the falls is 30,000 horse¬ 
power during the period of minimum flow, but averages higher dur¬ 
ing the balance of the year. The river is fed by three principal forks, 
having their origin in the snowfields of the Cascade Mountains. 

The plan of harnessing this cataract is unique. A shaft, eight 
by twenty-five feet, has been sunk in the rocky bed of the river about 
500 feet above the falls, and at the bottom of this is excavated out 
of the solid rock a cavity 200 feet long and 50 feet wide and 30 feet 
high, while out . of this cavity a tunnel has been excavated to the 
foot of the falls to serve as a tail race. The water is received from 
the river through a masonry intake, and is conducted down the shaft 
through a seven-foot steel pipe to the water wheels situated in the 
cavity. 

There are four water wheels of 3000 horse-power each, and di¬ 
rectly connected to them will be four three-phase Westinghouse gen¬ 
erators. These machines will generate the current at a pressure of 
1000 volts, and this current will pass through step-up transformers, 
out of which it will proceed over the transmission wires to Seattle 
at a pressure of 30,000 volts, and at the terminals it will again be 
stepped down to the proper pressure for local distribution. The plant 
is installed for an initial capacity at the terminals of 6000 horse¬ 
power. It will cose when completed $500,000. 

The right of way has been cleared and the pole line is now under 
construction, using aluminum wire for the purpose. The work is 
being rushed night and day, so that the power will be turned on in 
Seattle on New Year’s eve of the present year. 

The distance to Seattle from the Falls by the pole line is thirty 
miles. It is likely that a line will also be built into Tacoma, al¬ 
though the matter at present is somewhat indefinite. 

The Snoqualmie Falls 'Power Company, of which Charles H. 
Baker is president, which is conducting these operations, has recently 
made a purchase of the northeast corner of Second Avenue South 
and Main Street in Seattle, upon which property the substation and 
offices of the company will be built. 

It is expected that the introduction of this power will cheapen 
power throughout the city and will be particularly conducive to pro¬ 
moting manufacturing industries and will in that way bring Seattle 
to the front as a manufacturing city.
